Pasta is Our Friend: Why It Fits the Healthy Lifestyle

[zombiebabe]

So yummy and satisfying; pasta is a base for healthful plates and on top of that its my favorite ^_^. Even though I just finished preparing pasta for dinner a few minutes ago, I'd like to share about why it should be consumed more :p

#BATTLEROYALE

dat cutie in the meme knows the feel ;)

*It has a low glycemic index(GI) in contrast with rice; i.e your blood sugar level won't go up as it would have been with rice

*It has a low sodium content

*It is free from cholesterol

*It provides a slow release source of energy (a good type of carb)

*It is a source of folic acid

*It has a high fiber content

*You can prepare it in a crazy amount of ways yayyyyy

GAGers do you like pasta as I do?

Oh! I could literally choke in pasta!
But... I always weigh the amount I'm going to eat before I make it. Otherwise I eat waaaay too much.

I love pasta with just pesto, or tomatoes, or with tuna and vegetables. All so yummy!

lol i love it too so i can relate

Pasta CAN be healthy. I just find it funny how people can sit there and eat a big plate of fat- and calorie-packed macaroni and cheese or fettucini alfredo and think they're eating "healthy." ;)

[zombiebabe]

lmao it all depends with what they eat it with

[Fathoms77]

Well, no, not really. What you eat it with doesn't change the fact that the main dish is crammed with fat and cholesterol. That's like saying it's okay to eat a Big Mac if you've got a side of broccoli. ;)

oh god :o

Pasta is one of my favorite types of food, I especially love Italian and Chinese pasta, but I also like Japanese, Russian and Korean versions.
My favorites are: Spaghetti, Wonton Noodles, Lasagna, Lo Mein, Macaroni, Ramen, Transparent Rice Noodles, Pierogi, Ravioli, Pelmeni etc.
